On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with an abuse survivor named Doris,

and Doris ended up being married to a very reactive physical abuser.

Her story is one of bravery and protecting her daughter at all costs,

even if that cost was Doris herself.

Music Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, a podcast that gives a voice to survivors of narcissistic abuse.

I am Brandon Chadwick, but my friends call me Chad, and thanks for tuning into this episode.

So what is a narcissist you may ask? Well, for the purposes of this podcast, we refer to a narcissist as anyone who has displayed a pattern of behavior that shows a

limited capacity to appreciate others' perspectives. It is that simple. And now, before we get to our episode with Doris, I just wanted to thank everyone in the Narcissist Apocalypse community for listening to the show and sharing your thoughts by email, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. A big shout out as always to our friends and our Narcissist Apocalypse Facebook support group for being a great group of people.

Also, a reminder. If you haven't left us a review on whatever podcast service you use, Spotify,

page, and it's always floating around and hard to miss. There's a button there that says send

pal melissa to read your letter instead just send it to narcissist apocalypse at gmail dot com

and put letters to my narcissist in the subject line so we know what it's for.

And before I get out of my own way, I just, you know, want to say to everyone, I hope you're
